Another good solution for the terminally challenged

*old* laptops, also a good solution when space is a big problem. The only
real use I keep my ancient Twinhead 386sx laptop around for is to use as a
terminal when nothing else is handy...
I bought an ancient Zenith XT laptop (dual 720K floppies) for $10 at a local
box shop explicity for a terminal. I have a DOS 3.3 boot disk in it with
Kermit, and away I go. If I could lay my hands on a cheap Xircom PE3 (no
flames, please), I'd use the laptop as an IP "terminal", too (for the
Kermit-ly challenged, modern versions contain an IP stack; just add packet
driver; that's how my Commodore Colt is on my network).
